Wildflower Seeds - Southeast Region
The Southeast Region gets a lot of moisture and heat, better known as humidity. The warm Gulf waters provide a steady supply of moisture, and keeps it green for much of the year. Some areas experience cold and snow in the winter months, but it is usually pretty short-lived. If you live in this region, you can grow a lot of native wildflower seeds without too much trouble, but will need to watch out for species that can't handle too much heat or moisture. Also, some of the native species of the Midwest require a cold dormant season to complete their life cycle, so if you do not have enough chill hours, they might not grow well. Other than that, you have a lot of bulk flower seed packets available here, and can tailor them to your needs by filtering the results with the left-hand menu.

McKana Giant columbines were developed specifically for their large, striking blooms and many colors; this AAS Award winner first became available in the 1950s. The name "columbine" is derived from the Latin "columba," or dove, since an upside down columbine bloom looks like a circle of doves around a fountain. The Latin genus name "Aquilegia" means "eagle," a reference to the spikes on the back of the flower that resemble an eagle's talons. These unique hollow spurs on the blossoms contain an abundance of nectar, though only hummingbirds and other long-tongued feeders such as the hawk moth can reach it. Ruby-throated hummingbirds especially love this plant. Its natural habitats are woodland areas, rocky slopes, or along streams.Starting at $2.50 USD -

Native coneflowers have a reputation for establishing themselves in soil that few other plants would tolerate. They have a long-lived persistence, and also attract butterflies and songbirds. English naturalist Thomas Nuttall first documented this species on one of his many expeditions throughout western America. The Latin name "columnifera" means "column," referring to the prominent center of each blossom.Starting at $2.50 USD
The Southeast Region gets a lot of moisture and heat, better known as humidity. The warm Gulf waters provide a steady supply of moisture, and keeps it green for much of the year. Some areas experience cold and snow in the winter months, but it is usually pretty short-lived. If you live in this region, you can grow a lot of native wildflower seeds without too much trouble, but will need to watch out for species that can't handle too much heat or moisture. Also, some of the native species of the Midwest require a cold dormant season to complete their life cycle, so if you do not have enough chill hours, they might not grow well. Other than that, you have a lot of bulk flower seed packets available here, and can tailor them to your needs by filtering the results with the left-hand menu.
